The Fantasy Suite is notable within *The Bachelor* franchise, having served as a private retreat for contestants seeking intimacy during the show’s extravagant dates. Many participants over the years have hinted at the secrets and behind-the-scenes dynamics that unfold within its walls, adding to the intrigue surrounding the room. Haack, however, joked about her reluctance to engage with that particular episode, stating, “I don’t want to talk about it. I would have not wanted to do that episode.”
Despite her involvement in reality television, Haack admits that she doesn’t immerse herself in it outside her own projects. Her perspective on the genre reflects her focus on personal life, as she shared, “I have enough drama in my own life, so I don’t really watch a lot of reality TV.”
Currently, Haack is competing on *The Flip Off*, where she is pitted against her ex-husband Tarek El Moussa and his wife Heather Rae El Moussa in a series of fierce house flipping challenges. The debut season of the show received considerable attention, attracting nearly 14 million viewers. It presented a thrilling showdown that highlighted the challenges of home renovations. Initially, Haack was paired with her then-husband Josh Hall, but their subsequent separation during filming meant she had to continue the competition solo.
While an official release date for the second season of *The Flip Off* remains under wraps, HGTV announced in August 2025 that fans can anticipate its arrival sometime in 2026. The stars of the show have been keeping audiences engaged by sharing snippets of behind-the-scenes action on their social media platforms.
In the meantime, viewers can experience Haack’s insights and expertise as she provides commentary on the renovations showcased in *Bachelor Mansion Takeover*. The series features twelve alumni from *Bachelor Nation* who are competing to give the ageing mansion a much-needed facelift. The winner of this competition will walk away with a lucrative cash prize of $100,000.
Before her guest judging role, Haack participated in a Q&A segment with HGTV. Reflecting on her first impressions of the mansion, she described it as “a little bit run-down,” when she had anticipated a more luxurious setting. “I pictured a Spanish Villa… It’s definitely in need of this renovation,” she noted, highlighting the ambitious task ahead for the show’s contestants.
During her time as a judge, Haack showcased her understanding of the pressure that competitors face, drawing parallels from her experience on *The Flip Off*. She commented on the dynamics of judging versus being judged, stating, “What’s better about judging than being judged? The critique part of it.” She expressed empathy for the contestants, acknowledging the weight of expectations in such a high-stakes environment.
Joining Haack on the judging panel for *Bachelor Mansion Takeover* were Tayshia Adams and Tyler Cameron, who are regulars on the series. Other notable guest judges have included HGTV star Nate Berkus, actress Rachel Bilson, and former Bachelor contestants JoJo Fletcher and Sean Lowe.
